I've just spoken to my sponsor. We reflected on the last 100 days and how I feel my sobriety is going. I'm really pleased with my progress and I'm acknowledging the same anxieties that come up.
The biggest one is income / work. I suffer with imposter syndrome quite badly and I used to pity myself about it. But it's selfish and self-obsessed. My sponsor recommended researching local charities to volunteer with.
*you need to get out of self, Jasmine*.
So I will.
I'm no stranger to volunteering and helping my local community. When I was at university I ran a weekly fruit and veg stall that was surplus from local shops. It was a "pay as you feel" shop so that local families and individuals could get their 5 a day without stressing about $$$.
I've worked with animal charities, homeless charities, I even set up an organisation or two in my time! A while back I managed a festival that raised money for a mental health charity. It was incredibly fulfilling.
In moments where I am giving, I am not thinking about receiving. I like myself best when I am of service to my community and I think I've been out the game a while.
Of course I've done activism, but a lot of that has been a secret, or is involved with politics. I want to be back with the people.
